Jason Leong – In Laughing Memory

Event

After losing one of his best friends to cancer, Dr Jason Leong did a very Dr Jason Leong thing to process his grief: write a comedy show about it.

Join him in his most personal hour yet, as he navigates loss and love with laughter.

Dr Jason Leong is a medical doctor turned comedian and he never fails to bring that up, unprompted. He has had two Netflix specials, performed at Just For Laughs Montreal in 2022, and won the 7th Annual International Hong Kong Comedy Competition. He tours around the world because he loves comedy and ultimately, money.

Jason opens with a darkly funny yet touching tale about loss—specifically, the death of a close friend. It's bleak, yes, but told in the way only Jason can: sincere, raw, and cathartically hilarious.
